Thanks to this lovely student group from Providence College (Providence, RI) for volunteering with us this week!

We hope you all are still thankful on this Thursday post-Thanksgiving. Grace at the Greenlight would like to thank our volunteers, supporters, and community partners for helping us meet the basic needs of our unhoused community! This could not have been possible without you all!

Once again, we'd like to give a huge shout out to @mrisoftware_llc for choosing us as their sponsored charity for their Ascend conference! We'd also like to thank @neworleansandco for partnering us with MRI and being invested in making our community a better place for all!

Great Day to Bless our Community

Thanks to our friend Katie & family for spending her birthday by passing out clothes and hygiene bags to our unhoused friends! What a great way to give back!

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Grace at the Green Light! We had a lovely breakfast this morning with amazing volunteers and 89 guests who were treated to breakfast as well as gift cards thanks to our generous donors. We are thankful for you!
